    It’s the biggest show in this area.
    As far as what type merchandise, it depends on who shows up.
    They just had one less than two months ago.
    I went thru and saw nothing that interested me until the last row where I scored a 1949 Win ‘94.
    It’s just luck of the draw.

    The Pensacola Gun and Knife Show at the Hadji Temple is a far better gunshow and prices are more reasonable there than they are at the Pensacola Fairground gunshow. Plus the Hadji gunshow is $7 entry fee and the Fairground gunshow is an outrageous $9 entry fee, and most used guns have new gun prices, but that's at every show, just more prevalent at the fairground gunshow. You just need to know what the going price is of what you're buying.

    FYI, the Pensacola Gun & Knife Show at the Hadji Temple is scheduled for July, and is a way far better gunshow than the pensacola fairground gunshow.

    I debated about going to this show but I'm going to pass. It's been mostly miss than hit and $9 is steep for it not being a good show. Saving my pennies for the Hadji show.

    Problem with the Hadji show is it only comes around once a year, if that and wasn’t around at all for 20+ years.
    When I went last time, it was nice seeing a whole new set of vendors.
    I don’t go to the Pensacola show but maybe once a year mostly in protest of the $9 cover.

    I think im going to head up there never been to a gun show before so ill just have to eat the cover charge.
    If you have never been to one it's cool to go browse the selection and talk with some of the local gun guys. That's worth $9.

    Be sure to eavesdrop on conversations between dealers and customers as you are walking by a table. Very entertaining. Most of the entertainment is coming from all of the bs stories that the "customers" are telling the dealers about all of their "experience" with firearms in the military and other organizations. Hilarious.

    Just left, disappointed as usual. If you wanted a glock, AR, or s&w revolver at retail lgs prices then they had plenty of that. If you were looking for anything classic or collectible, don’t waste your 9 bucks. I did find some Springfield M1A mags for sale, unfortunately the vendor had them marked up higher than MSRP on the Springfield website so I passed.

    Gun shows are worthless to go and find anything from a table. If you want to go look at guns and BS with some folks and that's worth your $9, then by all means go!

    I've never found anything to buy at one!

    Well, in all fairness , they are called gun SHOWS . They aren’t called gun sells for a reason. I quit going to them a few years back for that very reason. It was mostly the same guns that I had been looking at for years with very few new items for sale.

    Pensacola, west side.
    Went yesterday, walked one gun around and then decided to make a second trip looking for a used Taurus model 65 stainless 357. Stopped and talked to a few folks, including the CAS guys at their booth. Saw one unusual gun I had not seen before:

    Oh, and Jays had a full table set up.
